Transport Nursing
Sponsored by the Air & Surface Transport Nurses Association, the Transport Nursing Learning Center features emergency transport helicopters and ambulances from AdventHealth and Nicklaus Children’s Hospital.
Critical Care Challenge
This simulated clinical competition allows teams of nurses to use their clinical knowledge, psychomotor skills and teamwork to provide care to a simulated patient. The scenarios test each team’s patient assessment, critical decision making, clinical knowledge and teamwork.

Healthcare and medical device companies, including sector leaders and startups, bring interactive demonstrations of the newest equipment, devices and technology to the showroom floor.
